The Emmy-nominated 10th season of Degrassi premiered on July 19, 2010 in Canada on MuchMusic and July 20, 2010 in the United States on Teennick. The season saw many changes for the show, from being the first to not only air off of its original channel CTV, or broadcast television, to also being the first season to have simultaneous airings in Canada and the United States. Although only two school years have passed since Season 6, this season depicts the 2010-2011 school year. The tagline, "The Next Generation," was dropped because of the audience being unfamiliar with the previous generation, leaving the series being simply titled, Degrassi.

The 10th season aired in three parts—the first part, named Degrassi: The Boiling Point in the USA, and Degrassi in Canada, went through the summer; the second part, an eight-episode block of Season 10, was renamed back to Degrassi; the latter part of the season was titled as Degrassi: In Too Deeponlyin USA. Meanwhile in Canada it remained as Degrassi, which completed the season and ran until April 22, 2011.

In Canada, more than one million viewers tuned in to watch the first four episodes alone.
